I recently spent three days at King Arthur in Norwich, VT., in a professional-level survey of classical French breads. The class was taught by Jeffrey Hamelman of King Arthur, and James MacGuire, a distinguished chef and baker from Montreal. Mr. Hamelman is of course well-known as the director of the Bakery and Bakery Education Center at KA, and the author of Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes. Mr. MacGuire is the past owner of La Boulangerie Passe_Partout in Montreal, and most recently the Technical Editor of Raymond Calvel's book, The Taste of Bread.

About Me

Left the city and moved to Vermont five years ago.
I have a house, a husband, and 20 acres but no mule.
I'm learning the lessons that Vermont has to teach: self-reliance, patience, and flexibility. Technologist by day, and writer, photographer, cheesemaker, and serious cook by night. In Vermont, I'm finally using the training I've had: cooking from Madeleine Kamman, cheesemaking from Jim Wallace, and gardening from my years on the North Shore. I've paid my dues and am living in paradise. Till the power goes out.
